Spurs Nuggets Free Pick: Nuggets +2.5
Here is my Spurs Nuggets free pick.
San Antonio has been lit, winning almost every match. Still, this game will take on a different strategy as these teams could meet in the second round or final round in conference play, depending on where Denver finishes the season.
Per John Schuhmann: The Spurs have been the league’s most improved defensive team, allowing 6.2 fewer points per 100 possessions than in 2024-25. However, the Spurs have been much better defensively in both Wembanyama’s minutes on the floor (102.9 vs. 110.0 allowed per 100) vs his minutes off the floor (113.8 vs. 118.2 allowed per 100).
With that, I expect the Nuggets will look to use this match as a litmus test, although it’s expected neither side will show all their cards fully.
Still, the Nuggets haven’t gotten their defensive intensity fully functional despite the return of Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson. They haven’t needed it with their offense flowing, but I expect they’ll bring a more concerted effort to this game. Since they play the Spurs once more after this game, I’ll take the Nuggets to win this one.
